    viola players are a special breed, that being said; a viola player transposing the great paganini to such a rich instrument, is somthing more than talent. thank you for posting this gem.

      It was much better than I expected!
      But violin is better for this.
      I have no problem about viola as a support, but using it for a violin piece should be taken as an experiment.

      Nguyễn Thanh Hà The viola has a C, G, D and A string, instead of the G,D,A,E on a violin and the viola also has a deeper, mellower sound. I play viola and the difference is pretty obvious when played side by side with a violin

      I'm not a musician but have come to love classical in the past few months. La Campanella is one of my favourites whether played on violin, viola, piano, etc. (although I think it does suit the violin a bit more because of the higher register and ability to sustain notes on the instrument).
      At the risk of sounding snobby, here are some things that I noticed. I'm not sure if they are mistakes or variations that would constitute phrasing (I'm still not sure what phrasing is exactly), but these parts I noticed definitely did not detract from my enjoyment of this performance!
      2:37 Run sounds a bit flat
      3:36 Sounds a bit sharp
      5:04 Sounds slightly rushed
      5:43 Impressive fourth finger vibrato!
      1:01-6:01 My favourite part!
